The Course
The Club’s 27 holes, driving range, putting greens, short game practice area and indoor hitting area offer excellent opportunities for practice, social and competitive golf. The original 18-hole golf course was designed by Fred Findlay in 1928. An additional nine holes were added in 1965 in an area that was once the steeplechase course.
More recently, the Club added a driving range, short game practice area, and an indoor practice facility. In 2003, the Club completed a new irrigation system, and an extensive greens re-grassing project on the 18-hole course in Spring 2004. Farmington has a talented staff of golf professionals, led by Head Pro Rob McNamara (voted Golf magazine’s Pro of the Year in 2002 and PING fitter of the year in 2008).
Farmington’s golf facilities are among the finest in the mid-Atlantic region. The North and South Nines were the site of the 1993 U.S. Senior Amateur Championship and are consistently recognized as one of Virginia’s top traditional golf courses.

Famous quotes containing the word the:
“If you read only the best, you will have no need of reading the other books, because the latter are nothing but a rehash of the best and the oldest. To read Shakespeare, Plato, Dante, Milton, Spenser, Chaucer, and their compeers in prose, is to read in condensed form what all others have diluted.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
